theres is about 100 recipes in the book, but i think the most popular ones were on the website. if there is anything in partic u fancy im sure someone will pop the recipe up.

Thanks, I think as I'm supposed to be decluttering I'll leave buying the book for the moment and just start trying out the recipes I've already got.

Library

I've checked the library database and they don't have this book at any library in the region yet. So I'd have to put in a request for them to buy it but, as I'm 7 months pregnant I suspect by the time they get it in I'm not going to have chance to be doing much reading or cooking for a while!

I made the Norwegian Fish Pie on Friday.

It was really nice, I used the anchovies too.

Just thought i would add i have made the Fish cakes from the Book ( bargain at £10 ) and WOW they were Fabulous. i followed the recipe and had enough for Tea that evening plus 2 other meals that were frozen for future use. I have also done the Chilli con Carne with wraps these went down a storm with all the family as did the chicken recipe i did can't remember the name of it at this late hour. We are a family of 4.
Going to do some batch cooking from book tomorrow will let you know how i get on.
if anyone needs any recipe's please pm me and i will post on the board.

Seared Squid with Chorizo (this is also nice with scallops instead of squid;))

Keep me busy for a while:D:D:D

What's everybody else planning to make first?

Done all in red:D
Had the butternut tagine last night (first time I've dabbled in Morrocan), it was fab. Will chop the squash smaller next time, would also be lovely with lamb. Used my new pestle & morter for the first time making it.

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone had made the meatballs with the tom sauce yet?
If so, was it good?
I'm thinking about trying it this week.
Thanks.

This one?
One-pot tomato stew with pork meatballs, chorizo and white beans:

Did you try it? I bought all the ingredients so will be making it tonight (Sunday) and will report back...

I have done the pork meatball dish and it went down really well with my family. I served it with crusty bread. so only one pot. I thought that it was an expensive dinner. but reaaly nice and easy to cook.

How is everyone else getting on with their book, it was constantly being updated here when the show was on, but seems to have fallen from discussion.

I'm still loving & using the book, it ranks in my top three books.

I'm going to be making the Tarka, Onion Bhajis and Almond Rice soon. Been making bread using the EG recipe and loving it

I made the steamed banana sponge with toffee sauce on the weekend, much to the delight of my family. Yum yum pigs bum Made a nice change from banana bread as it felt much more decadent

Did you notice the bananas went a strange purple colour?
